Article Abstract
Metastasis Associated in Colon Cancer 1 (MACC1) is a novel prognostic, predictive and causal biomarker for tumor progression and metastasis in many cancer types, including colorectal cancer. Besides its clinical value, little is known about its molecular function. Its similarity to SH3BP4, involved in regulating uptake and recycling of transmembrane receptors, suggests a role of MACC1 in endocytosis. By exploring the MACC1 interactome, we identified the clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME)-associated proteins CLTC, DNM2 and AP-2 as MACC1 binding partners. We unveiled a MACC1-dependent routing of internalized transferrin receptor towards recycling. Elevated MACC1 expression caused also the activation and internalization of EGFR, a higher rate of receptor recycling, as well as earlier and stronger receptor activation and downstream signaling. These effects are limited by deletion of CME-related protein interaction sites in MACC1. Thus, MACC1 regulates CME and receptor recycling, causing increased growth factor-mediated downstream signaling and cell proliferation. This novel mechanism unveils potential therapeutic intervention points restricting MACC1-driven metastasis.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a validated therapeutic target for immune-mediated diseases such as multiple sclerosis and ulcerative colitis, owing to its critical role in regulating of lymphocyte migration. However, the clinical utility of current S1PR1 agonists is often limited by cardiovascular adverse effects, particularly dose-dependent bradycardia. Enhancing receptor subtype selectivity represents a promising strategy to mitigate these risks.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a prevalent inherited disorder marked by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, predisposing individuals to premature cardiovascular disease and related morbidities. Traditional treatments often fail to achieve target LDL-C levels in many patients, necessitating novel therapies. Tafolecimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9, shows promise in managing HeFH by enhancing LDL receptor recycling and LDL-C clearance.

The TWIK-related K channel (TREK-1), a member of the two-pore domain potassium(K2P) family, is characterized as a "leaky potassium channel" and is integral to the maintenance of the resting membrane potential. As the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system, astrocytes play important roles in the development of epilepsy by regulating the release of glutamate and the function of potassium channels. Previous studies have revealed that TREK-1 is involved in a range of neurological diseases, including epilepsy.

The redox imbalance in circulation can lead to inflammation and cellular damage in vascular walls, which plays a crucial role in atherogenesis. We previously designed an apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mimetic peptide, EpK, which can reduce atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice by binding high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Meanwhile, hepatic overexpression of methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) can exert indirect anti-atherosclerotic effects.

One major challenge in cellular neuroscience is to elucidate how the accurate alignment of presynaptic release sites with postsynaptic densely clustered ligand-gated ion channels at chemical synapses is achieved upon synapse assembly. The clustering of neurotransmitter receptors at postsynaptic sites is a key moment of synaptogenesis and determinant for effective synaptic transmission. The number of the ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors at these postsynaptic sites of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses is variable and is regulated by different mechanisms, thus allowing the modulation of synaptic strength, which is essential to tune neuronal network activity.
